Flowmeter review

Outlines the four main types of flow metering technology and their various applications, covering electromagnetic flowmeters, coriolis mass flowmeters, vortex flowmeters and ultrasonic flowmeters. Looks at the future of flowmeters with regard to quality control standards, signal converters and serial communication. Concludes that since the basic problems surrounding flow measurements have been solved there will be no quantum leap in flowmeter technology, however the four basic flowmeter measuring techniques will be gradually developed and the level of intelligence in each unit will be further enhanced.
